Aight heres another one ladies and gents

 Okay life is 10/10 right now. Heres why:


RANDOM ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Our Fridge had been broken for like 4 weeks, as in it didnt make things cold and everything rotted. BUT WE GOT IT FIXED!
- We helped Anna prepare her house for an insurance inspection.
- We taught Jasmine on Friday (she showed up to church and asked to take the lessons last sunday) and she told us shes non-denominational but wants to understand what makes our church different! She had so many questions about our church, so we taught her the restoration and gave her a book of mormon! It was an amazing lesson and shes read basically all of 1 nephi since then and has a huge Journal she takes of all of her questions about the Book of Mormon. 

MLC:
We learned that we will be having Elder Martino of the Seventy coming to our mission and speaking to our mission as well as teaching with missionaries and Interviewing missionaries! So that's going to be so sick! We also launched a new programm where certain missionaries around the mission will "Moderate" Facebook from 10:30pm - 12:00am! And Elder Roger's and I are doing that this week!

SOUTHERN FUNERAL:
We had a Funeral for Granny Betty and because she loved us missionaries so much her son Tim asked us to be the Pallbearers. So we got to carry her coffin, and be apart of the prayer as well. But that funeral was something else, like I never thought I'd here gospel and bluegrass banjo in the same service, but it was amazing, I want my funeral to be that exciting and fun! 

SPOON PRANK:
So Halloween night the Pennington girls schemed and toilet papered our house... so Saturday night, Elder Roger's and I got them back by sticking HUNDREDS of plastic spoons in their yard. It was funny, and brother Pennington showed up to church laughing his head off he thought it was the funniest thing ever. And he was so proud of us because he would have never thought that we would get them back for toilet papering us. But I dont take crap from anyone! 

So this week was just great.
Any ways I love yall that's just a little update from me. 
LUV ELDER WILSON:)

New guy and Blessings

 We had Transfers this week and I got a guy named Elder Roger's. The kid is so sick and boy is he ready to WORK in Jonesboro. We have done sooooo much together already, I'm so glad Jonesboro is just becoming such a good area. Like I love this place and work is starting to FLOOD in. Like we are so busy now it's so sick. I didnt think I'd have this many opportunities to teach and serve during COVID but like COVID isnt real here in Jonesboro, nobody cares and nobody gets it out here so it's been nice to live life nearly normal. (We still wear masks dont worry).


SERVICE:
 So we have been doing service for a guy named Roger who is just amazing and he is super Christian and loves God, so we talk about God and Christ with him while we neuter his goats and cut the horns off of his Bulls and trim his horses hooves and we fix fences that were ripped out by tornadoes. And it has honestly been the most fun thing ever. We also got to help Drake weld additions to the metal patio cover we already made with him. That was sick too.

I honestly love Jonesboro, at church yesterday we had a lady come up to us and ask if she could take the missionary lessons, because she is interested in knowing more about the Gospel. Like we have seen sooo many miracles lately and I really think it's just God blessing me and my companion for not giving up and for just working every day as hard as we know how, even though the outcome doesnt look as other areas of the mission. It's been amazing. 

I love you guys so much stay cute lol
Love Elder Wilson

Loving mission life...

 MIRACLES

On Friday Elder Tauraa and I were doing service at one of our favorite members houses, Drake. He is super missionary minded, so after service he made us some burgers and we had a quick lesson with him and his wife. We invited them to use their finding skills to simply ask the only person they live by (the guy across the street), if he would like missionaries to come do some service for him! So Drake decided to do so, but started by praying that night on how he could find a normal and natural way to ask him if he could have 2 missionaries come do service for him. He went to bed that night and woke up to his wife telling him that his neighbor across the street came over that morning to apologize for running over their mailbox the night before! So she said to not worry about it and asked how he was doing and if he needed help. He said "oh I always need help" so she responded with "We have 2 guys coming over to help us this afternoon, would you like to meet them, and maybe have them help you as well?" And the guy loved that idea, but didn't understand we would be doing it for free. He was amazed when we told him it was free. Anyways we go over to his barn, watch him neuter a goat, and left with his name and number! So we will be doing service for him and teaching him and his family this upcoming week!

-also side miracle: Elder Bednar held a devotional last night. And he let us ask questions. And Drake had asked my companion and I a question earlier that day that we weren't for sure on. So we asked elder Bednar, and he answered it! So we called Drake and told him we asked Elder Bednar his question then told him Elder Bednars answer! He was in shock!!

HURRICANE:
the hurrication was fun last week. We had 12 elders that stayed in our apartment for a few days and we brought them around Jonesboro doing service so we got ALOT done. Then we had a Bonfire in our backyard (Mission President approved because we were burning old Paper Area Books that needed to be disposed of).

ZONE CONFERENCE:
We had an amazing zone conference, we invited our members to come as well so we had some of the members share some missionary stories for our presentation and it got our zone and their members PUMPED UP! Some of the missionaries have told us miracles that have happened due to the members stepping in and being so missionary minded because of that zone conference! 

Also we got Toilet Papered lol.... 

That's basically what happened this week. So bye remember who you are! And dont be afraid to change! 

Love Elder Wilson
